## Affected

- joedolson My Calendar - Accessible Event Manager: from 3.8.8, fixed in 3.8.11

## Description

My Calendar WordPress plugin 3.8.8 before 3.8.11 contains a shortcode injection vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to execute registered shortcodes via the mcs search parameter. The mcs value reaches mc_search_results() in src/my-calendar-search.php without bracket encoding before do_shortcode runs, so a GET request triggers shortcodes on any page or post, enabling content injection and spoofing.

## What to do

- Check your stack: if you ship or depend on joedolson My Calendar - Accessible Event Manager, upgrade to a fixed version (3.8.11) per the references below.
